The world is in fire - Limited Edition of 1 Artwork

The work is a part of "The Lost Planet" series dedicated to the environmental problems and climate change issues. Fires are burning across the planet, in 2019 they seems to be more extensive than previous years. Alaska, Siberia, Indonesia, Central Africa, South America, Australia, the USA and Canada - everything burned, both in cold regions and in tropical wet ones. New monitoring tools installed on space satellites make it possible to track the path of a wildfire. Among them is the European Space Agency, which updated tool for tracking fires around the globe, called the Sentinel-3 World Fire Atlas. And also a NASA-affiliated product called the Global Forest Watch Fires - an online platform that monitors and responds to forest and land fires which sent out 782,366 worldwide Fire Alerts via email, between July 15 and 22, 2019. During the seven-day period alerts were sent to subscribers in Russia (178,484), the Democratic Republic of the Congo (136,087), Angola (109,512), and Zambia (52,801).   In the artwork the artist shows the spread of fire around the planet, connecting it with the garbage dumps and landfills, which also burns and causes great environmental damage. Six times more plastic waste is burned in U.S. than is recycled. The most dangerous emissions can be caused by burning plastics containing substances like PVC because harmful quantities of dioxins, a group of highly toxic chemicals are emitted. Dioxins are the most toxic to the human organisms. The artistic focus on the problem is set by a special red LED lights surrounding the planet around, as if taking our world into a ring of fire, with which Kapchuk enhances the effect on the viewer.
